THE GOLD STANDARD: Recently, De Albergaria created her first bespoke conceptual line, the 18K Gallery Collection...modern rings, earrings and necklaces, all richly textured and handmade in California with high-karat gold...

Just as a statement necklace of hers melds hand-worked leather with pale, brilliant diamonds, her dining room pairs dark hides on white floors, and white seats with shiny black lacquer. "Whether I am designing a piece of jewelry or a living space, I am drawn to unconventional blends, combining diamonds and pearls with leather is as natural to me as infusing heirloom furnishings with modern pieces."
